A KEEPER at Sing Sing who has been inter
viewed by wandering reporter expresses
himself as opposed to the admission of rich
men to the penitentlary, on the ground that
they make troublesome prisoners, by demand
ing extra attention. 1t is hardly worth while
for the keepers to borrow trouble on this &C
count. The indications, in the Sharp case,
for instance show the improbability of rich
men obtaining entrance there. Men who
have spent all their money may get into
prison. but they can be treated just like
ordinary convicts.

THE Sentinel complains because the Secre-

publish a certain advertisement recently

ing or implying that the advertising shall be
given to papers of different politics, or to In
dianapolis papers alone. The commissioners
simply exercised the discretion given them by
the law Perhaps. if the Sentinel had treated

CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM L. SCOTT, lead

CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM L. SCOTT, lead
ing Democrat and one of the wealthiest men
in Pennsylvania, was formerly protective
tariff man. He is now in favor of free trade.
In this connection, it is said, there is little
bit Of inside history connected with his
change of front. Scott, Seven-mule Bar
mum, Smith ~ Weed and a number of other
Democrats who are heavily engaged in the
manufacture of iron confidently expected
that when a Democratic administration came
into power they would be able to secure the
contract for building iron ships, Notifications
and implements of warfare for the govern
ment. John Roach was broken down in this
expectation, but even with Roach out of the
way they found that the cost of making new
plant was great that they could not posi-
bly, come in to compete with the old ship-build-
ers Scott Immediately sold his furnaces,
and has since been been training with the
tariff reformers.

General Clinton B. Fiske Said to Have Two
Presidential Irons in the Fire.

General Clinton b. Fiske Said to Have Two
Presidential Irons in the Fire.
Trenton IN. j. s ecial.
General Clinton B. Fisk means business. He
has considerable money, and his wife has con-
siderable Hence when the General an
nounces, as he has done quietly to his friends,
that he proposes capturing the Prohibition can
didacy for the presidency and making it warm
for the Republicans next year, he has the cash to
carry the campaign. General Fisk and his
friends very bitter toward the Republ
party, but especially toward the Blaine element
James G. Blaine is their especial object of
hatred, and they will devote most of their en-
ergies to knocking the Maine statesman out if
he should head the Republican ticket again
next year.
The General has a great many friends all
over the country and is especially popular with
the Methodists, as he founded and partially sun
ports the famous Fisk University at Nashville
Tenn 1t did not take long to get the boom in
working order. In Chicago General Fisk has a
E. Willard. president of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union of America. She was notified
and her pen and voice have since been extolling
the praises of the founder of the Fisk University
The Fisk boom spread SO fast that John Peter
ST. John. also General, began to grow uneasy
He was calculating on a denomination next sum
mer AS the weeks have gone by, the Fisk
boom has grown so rapidly that St John has
almost concluded he might as well gracefully re-
tire. He cannot defeat Fisk.
The only problem presented is whether
Fisk is in earnest only wants to brighten the
Republicans and compel them to recognize his
strength and come to terms with him. 1t is said
the recognition General Fisk wants is the prom
ise of nomination for Vice president the Re-
publican ticket If he gets that he is perfectly
willing to appear the same banners and in
the same songs with Blaine
